Sorry, I don't know whether or not this is a dhcpd problem or a baselayout problem. Server no longer starts dhcpd at boot. The log: =================================== No subnet declaration for eth0 (0.0.0.0). ** Ignoring requests on eth0. If this is not what you want, please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment to which interface eth0 is attached. ** Not configured to listen on any interfaces! exiting. =================================== It starts up just fine manually once I can log in. The particular server in question uses the Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet cards and I know that they are generally slower to initailize and my guess is that some change has caused dhcpd to attempt to start before the interfaces are up.

Try setting RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc I assume that net.eth0 is in the default runlevel?
(In reply to comment #4) > Try setting RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc OK, will have to wait until this evening to do that. > I assume that net.eth0 is in the default runlevel? Yes. But net.eth1 is not as that interface is currently not being used. Although both are defined in dhcpd.conf.
Customer allowed a reboot during the lunch hour, All is fine with RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="yes". Thanks!
Guess this is invalid then
